Sounds like you had a great ride! Tiff and I are planning a hilly ride on Thursday. It should be around 50 miles with 2000 feet of climbing. I'm hoping to start before dawn (did you hear that my friend????? lol) since we're starting off in Back Bay and then on the San Diego Creek Trail for the first part. I'm hoping, hoping, hoping we're done with the climbs on Santiago Canyon Road before it gets blazing hot. Wish us luck!
